Jack_Haase Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I have always been interested in methods of training on the water other than just running down the rope or moving the speed up until you get close or hit your PB. I just wanted to hear from the community what exactly they do to A keep up in the off season and B train in season on the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrislandy Posted December 12, 2018 Members Share Posted December 12, 2018 Gym twice a week, mainly working on core strength and increasing flexibility. Also trying to drop another 20lb before the season kicks off next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsetr Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 On season low speed (22-24mph on a Senate) skiing to build strength, form and balance in addition to “normal” speed skiing. Off season, treadmill for cardio, snow skiing and strength building (or maintaining) with my weight machine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigskieridaho Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 On season as @twhisper always says to us, no reason to shorten the rope if you look like crap. Run a longer line say 22 and go to the speed that you can run with good form pass after pass. Then work on technique and move up from there. Off season I workout in the morning and do 100’s in the afternoon. 100’s are 5 sets of 20 reps of 4 different exercises in a row. Snow ski also.

Baller ColeGiacopuzzi Posted December 12, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 12, 2018 @Jack_Haase In the offseason I usually try to ski through the winter to keep in the groove and make Spring a lot less hectic. In the winter its more working on technique staying at longer line lengths for me. Also hit the gym a couple times a week. In the Spring I work a lot on Rhythm and fundamentals until it starts to feel better like @bigskieridaho said. If it doesn't feel good I don't shorten. In the summer I try to mix it up skiing wise, doing tournament sets, going up the line to your hardest pass and then back down to your starting pass. I also like Opting up on passes, and also will backup each pass before moving on to the next. Obviously when its closer to tournament season its a lot of going down the line. I really try to mix up my sets to keep my mind guessing, and not get burned into doing one thing like shortening every time.

z_skier Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Offseason: (only about a month or so for me) Gym 2-3 times a week, combined with some type of cardio (running, cycling). Onseason: Gym 2 times a week, cardio, & lots of skiing. I use both seasons to keep my mental game sharp. Mental training is often overlooked and is just as important if not more than the physical part of skiing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
